The Elora Festival

Elora Festival - Early July

Come see why the world comes to the beautiful village of Elora every
summer...

The Elora Festival has packed more live music performances into one month
than you can imagine! With world-class talent and repertoire that stretches
from choral and classical, to opera, Broadway, jazz, Celtic, even piano and
string virtuosos. In 2011, we stirred your soul and blew your mind.
Performance details are announced each April so visit our website and join
us at our small stages for an intimate experience where the atmosphere is as
magical as the music itself.

The year 2010 marked the 30th Anniversary of this intimate event. With performances of world-renowned artists in intimate spaces such as village churches, or impressive natural surroundings such as the Elora Gorge Conservation Area.
